How many countries can boast of such great scientists as Albert Einstein, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, Max Planck? Definitely, it has always been a country that gave the world great minds and helped in every way to develop their fantastic ideas at that time. It has a proud name - Germany. The geographical position in all ages has contributed to the development of its power. If we take the times of the Holy Roman Empire, then Germany, being divided into many small states, remained all the same formidable force, thanks to strong bonds between all kingdoms.
Germany: geographical location
The Federal Republic of Germany (Germany) is located in the very center of the European continent and borders on 9 states such as Denmark, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Belgium and the Netherlands.
In the north, the country is washed by two
seas: the Baltic and the North. Both seas are very cold at any time of the year, therefore they do not attract tourists to visit these places in order to swim and sunbathe. Another thing is the south of Germany, where the Alps are partially present in Bavaria. It is logical that there are many ski resorts, so the federal land has pretty good money. Germany is rich in lakes, which make its landscapes very picturesque. The largest lake in Germany is Bodensee, which is where the Germans go to take a swim and sunbathe. Many rivers flow through the country, which are connected by many states. This is the Danube, and the Elbe, and the Oder - all of them are ship-floating.
Economic and geographical position of Germany
Germany is simply the largest economic center in all of Europe and a country that rules over so many in the European Union. The country is very rich in various kinds of natural resources. The relief is mostly flat, rises from north to south. Germany takes first place in the number of potentially mined coke (coal), which lies in the Ruhr area of the country.
Very rich deposits of natural gas are in the north. According to expert estimates, a country can fully provide itself and its residents with available gas resources, completely refusing to import it. Since 1989, after the Berlin Wall was destroyed and the FRG merged with the GDR, the country began to develop towards capitalism, which was facilitated by its location. That is, we can say that it is almost the same age as countries such as Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, but thanks to its favorable location, she managed to get a place in the G7.
Berlin is the European capital
Berlin is the capital of Germany, which is located in the north-west of the country. From 1961 to 1989, the Berlin Wall divided the city into eastern and western - capitalist and communist. In 1989, thanks to the then President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev, the wall was destroyed, and two parts of Germany united around the capital - Berlin. The city is very rich in various sights that attract many tourists. The first and most important attraction of this great city is the Brandenburg Gate, it is to this place that the main flows of tourist groups flow. Behind the gate stretches the world famous Unter Den Linden street, which means "under the linden trees". In the very center of the city is
Alexanderplatz, which was named after Tsar Alexander I (his arrival in Berlin in 1805). Fairs and celebrations are regularly held on the square itself, which is why it is always filled with people and shops selling souvenirs. Near Alexanderplatz stands a 385-meter television tower, and on its top there is a revolving cafe, which offers a beautiful view of the entire German city. If you list all the attractions that Berlin is rich in, then not a day is enough.
Third party in any negotiations
Germany is a state that very often speaks as a 3rd party in negotiations due to its political influence and high position at all conferences. Such political activity is obliged by her place in the G7. As an example, one can cite the fact that any negotiations on joining the European Union are held with the mandatory presence of Germany, and the highest ranks of this country also observe the current conflict in eastern Ukraine.
The auto industry of the country is its advantage
It is not a secret for all motorists that the German auto industry occupies a leading position in the markets of automobile concerns.
Well-known companies produce their products here: BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke), Volkswagen (car for the people), Audi, Porsche, Opel and, of course, the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz car in the world, which also belongs to the automobile industry of such a great country, like Germany. The geographical position contributed to the development of industry, because since ancient times there have been found mineral deposits that are so needed for the development of factories and plants. German-made cars are distinguished by their exquisite design and its variety and can be as useful as possible for different purposes. Product safety of German brands is noted not only in the European, but also in the world market, where, for example, a Mercedes car takes first place as the safest car. It is safe to say that the German auto industry today is a separate attraction.
